識 Mind

Over six decades, Masabumi Kikuch has shaped the jazz landscape by fusing classical traditions with cutting-edge electronic innovation. "Mind"—originally conceived as part of his "Six Elements" series (Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Mind)—emerges as a meticulously remastered work by Taylor Deupree. Kikuchi's compositions serve as anchors of intention within life's turbulence, mapping emotional terrain through delicate, intuitive lines. This album invites you into a contemplative space where introspection and spontaneous creation intertwine, offering both reflection and discovery.
